Unless I have missed it, there is an important Safety Management issue here that has not been mentioned :

WHAT ABOUT O F D M. ?

Is there a culture of consistent monitoring of OFDM in PIA ?

I am sure that if crews were aware that all unstable approaches would be subject to a subsequent review, this type of flying would be extremely rare.

A simple short training video to be shown to pilots explaining why unstable approaches are dangerous and that the Safety Department will find out about every one. You cannot hide them.

Such a video would cost very little to make.

In my book, the senior flight operations management are just as culpable as the crew. They should have made OFDM effective.

Monitoring frontline operations is a key part of Safety Management Systems. in many different industries. Most organisations doing this have avoided fatal accidents for many years.

Incidentally, these organisations have also found that their monitoring systems have made them more efficient as well as safer.
